Before, During, and After Sunset ~~
Santa Monica sunsets are beautiful and attract both locals and visitors daily. Just about ten minutes before sunset people start taking their spots along Palisades Park to get the best view and snap memorable photos. And the show is never disappointing. It starts with that beautiful golden light hitting the water and the sky turning all shades of pink, orange, and red, and continues way after the sun disappears into the water of behind he mountains, depending on the time of the year. It’s a spectacle that never gets old.

Supermoon ~~
Tonight we had a lunar eclipse coupled with a “supermoon”, i.e., a full moon that appears larger because it’s at the closest point of its orbit with Earth. This is relatively rare, having last happened in1982 and not happening again until 2033. I missed the lunar eclipse (when the moon looks red) and that was upsetting. I wasn’t sure about photographing the “supermoon” after that, but decided to shoot it anyway. Well, it was beautiful, with the most spectacular glow. Unfortunately, I could only make the same shot again and again, as it was already high in the sky not allowing for much creative composition.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Monochromatic
For this week’s Photo Challenge, Jen H. asks us to share our Monochromatic images, reminding us that “a powerful monochromatic image is composed of a gradient of a single color, and has an emphasis on texture and composition.”
